I copied my .mozilla folder to my home directory on both OS's to make
sure all plugins etc were identical, then copied only my profile
folder to the shared folder in /home, then edited the ini file as
follows
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0 (this is 1 by default)
Path=/home/shared/el9uwyg6.default
then I renamed the profile in both real home directories so that I
could be sure they weren't being used. Started Firefox, works fine on
either OS. My only concern is that /home/shared is wide open to
anyone, but until I understand permissions better I'll live with it as
I'm the only user of the laptop and it's not being used on a LAN at
present, just at home behind a router firewall.
